Adani International School has taken another step towards overhauling sports education in the country by joining hands with the International Schools Sports Organisation. This association shall be utilized to upgrade sports infrastructure,upgrade training of athletes and improve representation in international competitions.Namrata Adani, promoter of Adani International School, has now joined the ISSO advisory board as its member. This is India's only sole sports organization for international curriculum schools under the world-recognized boards of the International Baccalaureate, Cambridge, Edexcel, and the US-based National School Boards Association.

ISSO was founded in 2017 with the aim of giving an opportunity to students of international schools to develop their sporting skills systematically. It has been working to connect these students with competitive forums at national and global levels. The organisation has always built a system that encourages young talent to grow and shine in sports retaining their interest in studies as well. ISSO, through its collaboration with Adani International School, plans to expand its scope and further consolidate the ground for youth sports in India.

Namrata Adani believes that this alliance is a turning point for the country's sporting and education sector. She said that the dream is to have inclusive, future-proofed institutions where students can thrive academically and in sport. She emphasized that it is an honor to join hands with ISSO to develop a world-class sports culture for international schools within the country. Her vision is to offer opportunities to children to learn values such as teamwork, discipline and perseverance through sports and receive quality education at the same time. The Adani International School has already been well-known for its modern approach to learning and development.The school, through its collaboration with ISSO, is further augmenting its position in developing well-rounded students ready for the future.This collaboration will help in the establishment of better infrastructure, providing quality coaching and encouraging the students to participate in sporting activities compatible with international standards.It further aims to encourage more schools to invest in sports as a core part of education rather than as an extracurricular activity.

Aakanksha Thapak, ISSO director, welcomed Namrata Adani at the advisory board and was eagerly awaiting the future of this association.

She informed that ISSO has always believed in youth empowerment through sports and has established a process where students from the grass-roots level reach up to higher stages. She also added that with the vision of Namrata Adani and her forward-looking vision, the sports ecosystem in international schools will become even stronger. She feels they can do more together and encourage thousands of young sportspersons to dream big and achieve their aims. The partnership of Adani International School with ISSO will hopefully bring a new era of sports interest in international schools.

It will ensure better access to better resources, better competitions, and a support system that encourages children to follow their sporting dreams with the weight of books. The concept is to equip students well enough to clear examinations as well as handle the trials and companionship that sports bring into their lives. To most Indian international schools, facilities for sport have in the past trailed behind facilities for study. This partnership fills this gap by remaining committed to the establishment of facilities and creating an environment in which sports get their fair share of attention. It also ensures that those students who are athletic will get suitable guidance, exposure, and podiums on which to compete at the optimal available levels.

This is also an indicator of growing awareness in India that sports can make individuals strong and robust.In a world where competition is not just academic the development of physical skills, strategic ability, and leadership skills through sports can benefit students to a large degree.The effort of Adani International School to partner with ISSO demonstrates an attempt to cultivate talent and prepare students for a well-balanced and successful life.

Namrata Adani’s involvement in the advisory board ensures that the initiative has strong leadership and vision.Her focus on building inclusive institutions aligns perfectly with ISSO mission to give every student the opportunity to explore their full potential.Together, they aim to create a culture where sports are seen as an essential part of education and personal growth.

In the coming years such an alliance can be emulated by other institutions and schools that want to infuse sport more significantly into their educational systems.By showing how international standards can be used in local institutions it is capable of eliciting similar collaborations that will benefit students across the country. Through the synergy of effective leadership, sophisticated facilities, and structured training it will be made possible for young athletes to play confidently around the world.

The collaboration of International Schools Sports Organisation and Adani International School is a benchmark in the manner international schools in India are viewing sports.
It brings together a shared vision of empowering youth creating top-notch infrastructure and building future-proofed institutions.
Students will now receive a chance to not only study but also imbibe the discipline and values that are included in playing competitive games, making them prepared for success in all walks of life.
